Cryptographic signing of template requests provides a secure method of communication between ARIN and its customers. ARIN has published a list of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) at http://www.arin.net/CA/ca_faq.html for your reference. You must be the Tech or Admin Point of Contact (POC) for an ARIN subscriber member organization to apply for a digital certificate. Certificates issued by ARIN can only be used to sign e-mail sent to ARIN. Full eligibility and usage criteria are detailed in the FAQ. If your POC meets the eligibility criteria, you may request a certificate at http://ca.arin.net/request. You will be asked to fill in a form with some basic information, and your browser will lead you through the process of requesting the certificate.
